Know before you buy
The false bottom design creates a shallow tray for your fire glass, which significantly reduces the total amount of glass media required to fill the pan. This not only saves on material costs but also keeps the burner assembly lighter and easier to manage.
No, this unit features an electronic Hot Surface Ignition system. It uses a glow plug to ignite the gas automatically, allowing you to start your fire with the simple flip of a switch.
The S.I.T. system includes a built-in thermopile safety sensor. If the flame is extinguished unexpectedly, the sensor detects the loss of heat and automatically shuts off the gas supply to ensure safe operation.
The burner ring is specifically engineered with precision-drilled holes to prevent the whistling noise often associated with gas flow. This design ensures a quiet, smooth flame experience.
The stainless steel pan is manufactured with integrated weep holes. These holes allow any rainwater that enters the pan to drain out, preventing accumulation and protecting the burner components.
This system operates on 24 volts AC. You will need to ensure you have a compatible transformer and power source available at your installation site to support the electronic ignition kit.
